Sunday Drive: Choral High Mass from St. Mark's Episcopal, Philadelphia

Your Head Trucker hasn't been to church in a very long while - for good reasons -  and is not a high churchman; but sometimes a service of bells and smells can be refreshing to the soul.  At least I can make a spiritual communion online, and listen to a good sermon.  

BTW - Psalm 37 is particularly apropos in today's world.
